Anyone seen someone use a 78-79 Bronco Tank? BroncoGraveyard.com has a 25.5 gallon tank that is plastic, 12" deep.

I was thinking I could use it and fiberglass the stock pump on top and close off the other pump hole. I think it will even fit between the frame.

Discuss? Might just be better to buy a cell but I want to have a bigger tank, cells over 20Gallon are down right $$$

 

Buy a fuel cell... the fuel pump assembly is spring loaded and is designed to be a "press fit" against the bottom of the tank. You need something about 10" deep and I am working on an adapter for the factory fuel pump assembly, so that all you have to do is have it tig welded onto a cell and bolt your pump assy right to it. If that doesnt make sense, ill try to better explain later, im tired, didnt get but 4 hours of sleep last night... bare with me.

 

Oh I was jsut under the impression the pump needed 10" so it could be more...

Press fit makes sense.

How much are the adapters going to be running?

 

I don't think the Bronco tank will fit between the frame rails......I have replaced tanks on my brothers '78 Bronco and that sucker is wide, heavy, and bulky.......

 

its 31x25x12 it would fit between the rails.

 

hes making me one too..he said no more then 100 i think..

 

Bronco 2 tanks fit between the rails as well considered one of those? Not sure how many gallons they hold though.

 

yeah i have... but there is something about them that wouldnt work for what i want
